A Ticket-of-Leave Baronet.
From the London Ne1cs.

TIOHt Tue I-OItLOH NGlCS.
Not so long ago a thin, little old gentle
man, with clean-shaven face and closely
buttoned, thread-bare frock coat, was to be
observed, be the weather wet or fine, in the
neighborhood of the Stock Exchange. Who
he was or where he came from no one knew.
for the simple reason that he belonged to a
past generation, and was in the heyday of
his youth and good fortune when the present
race OF our young men were reposing in
cradles or imbibing the contents of pap bot
ties He was always smiling and cheerful.
and only too happy to take lunch with any
one generous enough to ''stand" square
meal He never appeared to do ANYTHING
In particular, but, in quiet way, he con
tlnued to make little money now and again
by giving tips" concerning probable huct-
nations in the financial market Where he
obtained his information was mystery. but
his advice generally turned out correct and
his reward took the shape of few shillings
or pound or two, according to the magni-
tude OF the transaction he had been indirect
ly instrumental in bringing to satisfactory
conclusion.
That this city celebrity, who, by the bye.
was Familiarity known as "Mr. Clifford, 81
was exceedingly poor, there could be no
matter of doubt, and this supposition was
fully confirmed at his death, which took
place in a miserable, unfinished attic sit
uated IN a squalid neighborhood in the East
End. Yet this man was no other than Sir
Clifford = who, at one time, was one of
the bucks" of the metropolis. His down
fall was occasioned by his killing a man in a
drunken brawl, for which indiscretion he
suffered penal servitude. After passing a
good many years in one of her maiestys
prisons he obtained a ticket-of-leave. but his
friends refused to have anything to do with
him, and the host of boon companions who
had helped to spend his money in former
days were either dead or had forgotten him.
Thus it came to pass that he gradually sank
lower and lower, until he reached that con-
dition of impecunious respectability known
as shabby genteel."

The new illuminant called Lueigen bids
fair to become as powerful a rival OF gas
and electricity as they were Of their prede-
cessor, oil. It is said to be far more
brilliant than electric light, . small light,
costing but a few, cents an hour, "bsins
powerful enough to read ordinary manu-
script at a distance of $50 pacss," az
stated by the Detroit Free Press. The
light is yielded by the combustion Of crude
and waste oils, the by-products Of gas
works, under a method patented by an
Englishman, J. B. Hannay, and ia produced
by mixing infinitely divided particles OF the
oil with compressed air in certain proper.
tons. 1t is stated that the cost oil the
light ia about one.twelfth that Of gas and
about one.twentieth that OF electric light.
In view OF this new addition to illuminants
it is perhaps as we'll that the five-year con.
tract with the gas company was allowed to
die in it's incipiency by our City Council, as
there is no telling what prospects may open
up in that time to furnish Butte with even
D better light than electricity, satisfactory
as that now is.

Tue Grow war, il it may be dignified with
such a rame, ended on Saturday. That
the emeute lasted as long as it did was
owing to the dilatory methods employed.
There is little doubt that prompt and de.
cisive action in thu way OF arrest OF Sword
bearer and his mutineers al the ontset
would have s9uelched the mrtiny in it's
inception. It all goes to show the complete
failure OF the reservation System ss a civil.
ising agency. The Crows themselves were
willing three years ago to sell their lands
to the Government, and settle down on
farms. The agent preferred to lease the
land to a Colorado cattle for
100000 q year, and the project was only
prevented Of corsum,nation by a Govern.
ment investigation, which showed that the
majority OF the tribe was overwhelmingly
opposed to the scheme. and it fell through.
There ars son six million acres in the
reservation, and il the scheme OF Phil
Sheridan had been adopted to dispose OF
about five million acres to the Govern
ment at one dollar an acre, dividing the re.
mainder among the tribe pro rata, they
would now he receiving more in interest
from the Government than the rental from
lease, besides being further advanced ON
the road to civilization. The Crows were
anxious to do SO then, and are no doubt
willing to accept some such arrangement
row.. This the only feasible plan to end
the constant annoyance from such emeutes
as this last one. and until it is done these
Indian troubles will cOnsta ntly recur. The
sooner this contamination is reached the
better for the Indians and that section OF
Montana.
